Options for fences made of corrugated sheets can be divided into metal and combined. Fences combined from corrugated board include several different materials.
Metal fence made of corrugated sheetsThe simplest and least expensive. Sheets of corrugated sheets are fixed to metal frame and form a continuous ribbon. Perfect for the garden and garden. |
 |
Sectional or modular fences made of corrugated sheetsEach sheet is framed by a rectangular or shaped metal frame. The sections are welded to metal posts using tapes. The fence looks neater and more finished than a regular metal one. |
 |
Brick fence with corrugated boardA more expensive and labor-intensive option, but it looks very solid. The sheets are fixed between square pillars lined with decorative bricks. |
 |
Fences made of stone and corrugated boardThe sheets are placed between concrete pillars trimmed with stone. You can also decorate with stone concrete foundation. |
 |
Fences made of corrugated sheets with forgingVery beautiful decorative fencing. The sheet is framed with elements of artistic forging. Each section is installed between brick, concrete or metal pillars. |

Attention! When building a fence from corrugated sheets with your own hands, you should not tackle combined options, if you do not have the skills to pour a strip foundation and lay bricks, and also if you have a limited budget.
To build a fence from corrugated sheets, you will need the following tools:
Attention: working with a welding machine requires special training. If you do not have the skills, it is better to invite a professional. You can also use installation technology corrugated fence without welding! The most reliable way to secure the logs to the posts is with galvanized clamps, which are tightened with self-tapping screws.
Which corrugated sheeting for a fence is best to buy? In terms of size, everything is simple:
- fence up to 2 meters - can be purchased fence corrugated sheet with a corrugation height from 8 to 21 mm (C8, C10, C20, C21)
- a fence over 2 meters and with increased wind load - the height of the corrugation is at least 20 mm (C20, C21).
Thickness corrugated sheeting for the fence - at least 0.5 mm.
Width corrugated sheeting for the fence depends on the height of the corrugation.
Height corrugated sheeting for the fence - standard - 2 meters, the most common range is 1.8 - 2.2 meters.
It remains to decide type of corrugated sheet. Practice has shown that best option - double-sided corrugated fence— galvanized sheet with double-sided polymer coating. Such a fence will look great from any angle and, if handled carefully, will serve you for many years.
Take note! The design of a fence made of corrugated board can be made quite interesting. Today, corrugated fences imitating stone and wood are gaining popularity.
2. Fence posts made of corrugated board
Round or profile (rectangular) pipes are used as pillars. They are available with or without painting. If you want to build cheap fence from corrugated sheets, you can use used pipes, but without corrosion.
Options:
Thickness metal for pillars 2-3 mm (used pipes - 2.5-3.5 mm).
Diameter round pipe for a fence made of corrugated board - 5-7 cm.
Section profile pipe - 4*6 or 6*6
Height pipes - fence height from the ground surface + 50%
3. Cross joists
The logs are attached to the posts and will serve as the base for the fence sheets. Usually used profile pipe 40*20 or 40*25, with a metal thickness of 1.5 mm.
4.
Fasteners
Most often, galvanized self-tapping screws are used for corrugated sheeting on the fence. They have a rubber gasket for a tight connection, and on top part applied polymer coating to match the color of the leaf. The most common size of self-tapping screws for fences is 5.5x19 mm. With this length, the sharp end remains inside the profile pipe of the log.
For a simple metal fence made of corrugated sheets material calculation is performed as follows.
Number of sheets = fence length: useful sheet width + 1-2 spare sheets.
Number of posts = fence length: distance between posts + 1.
Attention! The length of gates and wickets is not included in the length of the fence. They also require sheets and posts. It is easier to make the frame of gates and gates to order.
Number of logs = (number of pillars - 1) * 2 (if cross beams 3, then multiply by 3).
Number of screws = number of sheets * 6 (to increase strength, the number of screws can be increased).
Materials have been purchased. It's time to learn how to make a fence from corrugated board.
The site for the fence is cleared down to the ground. If possible, you need to level the ground.
We drill holes at the corners of the fence and install posts in them strictly vertically. You can check the vertical accuracy with a level or plumb line. Between them we stretch the twine cord in 2 rows (it’s better to keep it vertical). We will install the remaining pillars along this line. It also allows pillars to be at the same level (in the absence of terrain slopes).
Along the cord line at regular intervals (standard 2.5 or 3 meters), it is necessary to drill cylindrical holes for the posts. With a fence height of 2 meters, the depth of the holes is 1 meter. The most important question when installing a fence made of corrugated sheets is: What is the best way to secure the pillars?
1 way
Hammering into the ground with a sledgehammer. Suitable for light fences that are placed on fairly solid soil. Here the diameter of the drilled hole should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the pipe.
Partial concreting. The most optimal solution for a summer residence. The post is set level, then filled with ½ or ⅔ of the hole with soil and compacted tightly. The remaining space is filled with concrete. For strengthening, instead of earth, you can use a mixture of crushed stone and sand.
Butting. Instead of concrete, the hole is filled fine crushed stone, which is compacted by a vibrating plate. This method prevents pillars from sticking out clay soils, which occurs when internal waters freeze.
Full concreting. Suitable for light soils. The entire hole around the post is filled with concrete. Cushion made of crushed stone and sand in in this case wouldn't hurt either
Helpful advice. At high levels groundwater waterproofing of the hole is required. It can be done by laying the walls and bottom with roofing felt.
Other installation methods are considered time-consuming and costly. They are suitable for permanent fences country houses. These include the installation of a strip foundation under a fence made of corrugated sheets, as well as the installation of a fence made of corrugated sheets on screw-type piles.
The logs are welded perpendicular to the posts. The places of fastenings are pre-measured.
Attention! The distance from the log to the edge of the sheet should be 20 cm.
After welding, you need to thoroughly clean the seams and apply paint to them, otherwise corrosion cannot be avoided. If you decide to install a fence made of corrugated sheets without welding, galvanized clamps will not require painting and will provide additional protection.
The corrugated sheet is secured to two joists using self-tapping screws. The work needs to be done by two people, protecting their hands with construction gloves (the edges of the sheets are quite sharp). We fasten the sheets from the gate or wicket with outside. First you need to draw a straight line with chalk along which the screws will be screwed. There are 4 self-tapping screws on one sheet, one jog at a time. The outer ones simultaneously overlap adjacent sheets.
Watch the video about installing corrugated sheets, which explains in detail how to fasten the sheets.
Advice: Top line The fence can be strengthened and decorated using a U-shaped strip. It will give the fence a finished look. You can use contrasting colors.
All that remains is to clean it and enjoy the work you did with your own hands. We also invite you to watch a video where the gate construction process is shown inside and out.
Each owner who purchased a plot for construction country house, dreams of surrounding everything with a secure fence. IN modern conditions This is not just an attribute of a site that protects a private area from prying eyes, but also an indispensable attribute that emphasizes the aesthetic nuances of the landscape.
During its construction, they are used various materials. Special attention deserves a fence built from corrugated sheets. This raw material is extremely popular, with a huge number of positive qualities and characteristics. Having a certain skill and adhering to some rules, it is possible to install a fence from profiled decking with your own hands.
Territory equipment metal fence made from corrugated sheets is considered the most common and in an accessible way site fencing. Once erected, such a fence will reliably protect any plot of land, perfectly correlating with any design solution. This became possible due to the fact that profile sheets in a large color scheme, with a huge range of shapes and sizes.
Metal fence made of corrugated sheets - view from the inside
The installation of such fences occurs in tandem with metal posts. Finished design captivates many positive qualities:
Materials from which profile fences are built.
For the construction of fencing from profile sheets You need to stock up on some building materials. Without them, it will not be possible to build a normal fence. It's about O:
Before you start construction works, it is necessary to mark the territory and collect a number of necessary data regarding the perimeter of the site. You should clearly calculate the number of posts that will be needed when erecting a fence. Then markings are carried out on the ground.
First, pegs are driven into the corners of the allotment. A thread is stretched between them, along which the necessary marks are made. In this case, a construction tape is used. Based on the data obtained, the development of a future fence from profile sheets is carried out.
Construction various types fences:
By definition, fences made of profiled sections come in two types:
Such fences are made in the following varieties:
— structures in which corrugated sheets are located along the entire height (from the surface of the ground to the top edge);
- structures where profile sheets rest on a concrete foundation or a brick side connecting the support columns.
The first version is considered more economical, since it requires less materials for construction, which means the construction itself will be easier. The second option looks more beautiful and respectable (however, it will require large labor costs).
Fences, where sections of metal pipes serve as supporting pillars, are arranged in the following sequence:
Step 1. Corner posts are installed in the places indicated by land surveyors. To dig in the next post, a hole of the required depth is dug (in order for the fence to resist gusts of wind well, it is advisable to immerse the post a third of its length in the ground). Greater reliability and stability is achieved by filling the recess concrete mortar.
Step 2. The formwork is installed to create a side that connects adjacent posts. the size (width) of the latter depends entirely on the desires of the owner (a design of 15-20 cm looks aesthetically beautiful).
Step 3. The distance along the length of the fence is divided into 2.5-3 meter sections. A thread is stretched between the corner points.
Step 4. According to the markings, the pillars are dug in. The best visual effect is achieved when the support pillars are located at equal distances. For greater comfort, a second thread is pulled at the bottom, making it easier to line up the pillars in a single plane.
Step 5. Concrete is poured into the container of the finished formwork. At the same time, it is advisable to additionally test the accuracy of the vertical, longitudinal and transverse arrangement of the pillars. After this, the structure should be left until completely dry.
Step 6. A set of horizontal transverse strips, which can be welded, are hung on the finished posts.
Step 7. The vertical sheets of corrugated sheets are fastened. For fixation, a set of metal roofing screws is used. The building materials market offers a wide range of similar fasteners in a wide variety of shapes and colors.
The process of erecting a fence that contains brick columns is more expensive and painstaking. As a result, a fence is created that captivates with its beauty and practicality. It correlates perfectly with any design of private houses in which brick is present. Finished structures of this type are incredibly elegant.
Such structures are created as follows:
Step 1. The location of the sides of the fence is determined, and the formwork for the foundation is assembled. The latter is created with mandatory reinforcement (using metal reinforcement. This must be done, since a priori the brick has a significant mass, which means that the brick pillars (together with the lintels) will be quite heavy, and the foundation may not withstand the load. The reinforcement is positioned vertically and covered brick.
Step 2. The pillars and intermediate lintels are laid out. At standard height fence, at marks of 20-30 cm and 150-160 cm from the ground level, brackets are laid, to which, in the future, horizontal strips will be attached. Periodically, using a level, verticality is checked.
Step 3. A set of horizontal strips is welded onto the mortgages. It is advisable here to paint the entire set of horizontal metal components so that they are not affected by precipitation and corrosion does not develop.
Step 4. Corrugated sheets are attached to horizontal strips. Roofing screws or rivets are used, which are fixed with a riveter.
Step 5. So that the brickwork of the pillars can withstand precipitation, a cover is placed on top.
In order for such a fence to serve for a very long time, it is advisable to regularly clean it of dirt. You can use any soap solution. At the same time, it should be remembered that they should not contain solvents, since they can damage the profiled sheet.
The construction of fences today is subject to requirements for strength, reliability and stability. At the same time, not the least role in choosing a fence for summer cottage plays its aesthetics. The fence should not only be durable and strong, but also fit harmoniously into the overall design.
A universal material for constructing a fence is considered to be corrugated sheeting, which is based on a galvanized metal sheet. Previously, profiled sheets were used only for covering the roofs of non-residential buildings, garages and for fencing construction sites. But this is already in the past.
Modern manufacturers of corrugated sheets have brought it to more high level quality. And today, corrugated sheeting is the same galvanized metal sheet, covered with high-quality protective layers, corrugated on a special machine and attractive in appearance. It is manufactured by using cold rolling, hot galvanizing and coating the surface with various protective compounds:
Due to the fact that corrugated sheeting has a corrugated shape, it is durable, rigid and resistant to damage and wind.
Constructing a fencing site from profiled sheets with your own hands has a number of advantages:
In addition, a fence made of corrugated sheets is cheap. But, most importantly, you must strictly adhere to all the rules on how to make a fence from corrugated board with your own hands.
Before building a fence from corrugated sheets, you need to prepare all the building materials and tools. To calculate the number of profiled sheets, it is enough to know the length of the fence around the perimeter of the site and add it to the height of the fence. You will also need:
IMPORTANT! It is impossible to use aluminum rivets to connect sheets of corrugated sheets, because they do not withstand loads well.
After installation, the fence will look like this:
Before you start building a fence from corrugated sheets, you need to correctly measure the perimeter of the fenced area and calculate the number of support pillars. Marking the territory is carried out by driving pegs in the corners of the future fence, between which a strong thread is pulled tightly, and the necessary measurements are taken. Only after this is a project for the future fence made of corrugated sheets drawn up.
Before proceeding directly to the installation of pipes for the fence supports, it is necessary to dig holes around the perimeter for pouring the foundation. Of course, you can dig with a shovel, but this labor-intensive process. Therefore, it is better to use a garden auger. After each hole dug, the distance is measured and the next hole is dug. And so on.
The reliability, durability and appearance future fence.
The height of the supports for a corrugated fence depends on the height of the fence itself. The supports should be placed strictly straight, and the distance between them should be up to three meters. And in order to install pipes, it is necessary to dig holes 1-1.5 m deep.
IMPORTANT! The higher the fence, the deeper the holes should be.
After all the holes for the support pillars have been dug, you can begin installing the supports themselves, during which it is important to constantly ensure that they are strictly vertical. To do this you need to use building level. If the support pillars have been installed straight and vertical, then you can start pouring concrete. Those pipes that will be lowered into dug holes 1.5 meters deep are filled with solution only to a meter, and the remaining 50 cm of pipes must be tightly wrapped with roofing felt, and then filled and compacted with sand. The foundation must be left in this state for three days.
IMPORTANT! The concrete mortar poured into the support holes should definitely be pierced using available materials. This is necessary to release the air that remains in the solution.
After the support pillars have been installed and the foundation has been firmly strengthened, you can begin installing the transverse joists, which are placed parallel to each other.
In order to securely attach the logs to metal poles, it is best to use a welding machine.
There is a second way to fasten the joists - using bolts and nuts, but it is not as reliable as welding.
IMPORTANT! The support logs should be attached to the posts at a distance of at least 20 cm from the top edge of the support post and from the surface of the ground.
The construction of a corrugated fence is completed by the installation of the profiled sheets themselves, which are attached to the frame slats using self-tapping screws, rivets or galvanized bolts. As a rule, sheets should be joined with an overlap on one wave.
Many materials of varying strength levels are used as materials for the manufacture of a fence for a private home or country house. This concrete plates, wooden and metal picket fence, composite material, corrugated board, solid board. Corrugated sheeting is one of the lightest materials in terms of weight. A fence made of corrugated sheets is good for many people - its advantages are: easy installation, affordable price, durability, strength.
Fence and gates made of corrugated sheets of blue color
Almost anyone can build a fence from corrugated sheets with their own hands. Installation of a fence made of corrugated sheets can be done either with an assistant or by yourself. The weight of the material allows this. Durability finished structure will not be inferior in any way to the service life of a heavy concrete fence, and it will take much less money to build it.
To make an aesthetic and durable fence from corrugated sheets with your own hands at home or in the country, you need to prepare the following building materials in advance:
Profiled sheet different types and colors 
Square profile pipe - affordable and practical material Installing a light and durable fence for a private home will be impossible without preliminary calculations and marking the site. To make a fence from corrugated sheets correctly, you need to prepare well
When all the building materials have been prepared at home or at the dacha, they begin to mark the site. Pegs are driven into the corners of the future fence. A marking cord is stretched between the pegs. Intermediate pegs are installed along the cord. They indicate the locations of the support pillars. The distance between adjacent pillars should be about 2.5-3 m. Spans of more than 3 m will be exposed to wind due to increased windage. Installation of supports can be done in several ways, listed below.
The supports can be metal, in the form of ordinary round ones, or they can be stone or brick columns. Such combined fences made of corrugated sheets look very presentable and reliable, but require additional financial investments and additional efforts. Combined fences are excellent protection for a private home, but at the dacha it is better to make a simpler fence.
If the fence is built on, then they can be extended with pipes up to required height or cover it with bricks.
The construction of supports for fences can be carried out in three ways:
Scheme of a strip foundation for a fence 
Pillar concreting Watch the video from alternative option pouring and strengthening the pillar without concrete mortar (hard foaming polyurethane resin is used).
Corrugated fence on screw piles
Fences made of corrugated sheets require the presence of transverse beams in their design, to which the sheathing will be attached. The distance between the logs must be maintained at about 1.5 m. At the same time, gaps from the top and bottom of the sheets should be at least 5 cm.
Pipe crossbars are used almost always when it is necessary to build a fence on buried pipes or on screw piles. You can also attach a metal picket fence to them, the advantages of which over wooden ones are obvious. The structure of the frame is quite simple. The cross beams are fastened by welding either between the supports or along their front part. In the second case, savings in materials and time are achieved.
If you have to make a fence from wooden crossbars, then their installation on poles or screw piles is carried out using welded metal plates. The design of such fastenings is simple. Holes are drilled in them through which the beams are attached to the posts using bolts.
The design of the log may have another device. This is a combined method of fastening crossbars made of any material without using welding machine. On support pillars or screw piles, a mount is mounted into which the logs are inserted. The logs are fixed with self-tapping screws.
When starting the construction of a fence made of corrugated board, or indeed any fence made of picket fence or other material, you need to be careful that the material does not reach the ground by at least 5 cm. This will prevent its damage. And if the picket fence is simply not brought to the ground, then the corrugated sheeting can be attached both in a suspended state and installed on any support. A border made of brick, stone, or concrete is perfect for support. This adds aesthetics to the appearance of the fence. Such a support is especially impressive if we are building combined fence, where the supports are made of brick or stone. In this case, it is recommended to immediately use a strip foundation.
Installation of sheets begins from the gate or wicket. Each sheet is positioned strictly horizontally, after which it is attached to the joists with roofing screws. The fastening step is through one wave. That is, it is necessary to make two rows of fastenings - along the lower and upper joists. The overlap of each subsequent sheet should be one wave. The last sheet often has to be cut to give it the desired width. Use a grinder for this.
When installing metal sheets, the work should be done with gloves, since the edges of the metal are very dangerous.
When the installation of the corrugated fence is almost complete, you need to make plugs for the pipes to protect them from corrosion. All metal parts of the fence must be primed and then painted with high-quality paint.
We have disassembled the structure of a fence made of corrugated sheets, which can be used to fence and decorate the area around a private house or in a country house. If the installation of a fence made of corrugated sheets is carried out according to all the rules, such a fence on a strip foundation, pillars or screw piles will serve you for more than a hundred years. During this time the fence from wooden picket fence will need to be replaced at least 2 times.
Any area must be protected from prying eyes by a reliable fence. It can be constructed from different materials. The most popular and a budget option- This is a fence made of corrugated board.
It is suitable for those who want save on material and do not spend a lot of time building a fence. How to make a fence from corrugated sheets with your own hands is discussed in this article.
Corrugated fence has a number of advantages before others:
An important advantage of the design is the small amount of excavation work and ease of installation.
If you didn’t find a helper for you, don’t worry! With a fence like this I can handle it on my own.
The benefits of a fence made from such material include its opacity. This is important for free movement on the site. At the same time, you don’t have to be in sight of your neighbors.
Cons of corrugated sheets:
What if a welding machine is not available, or a self-taught master does not know how to work with welding? You can install a fence without welding, with the help of auxiliary: brackets, bolts, self-tapping screws and a construction clamp.
With this type of fastening, you cannot use parts that can damage the protective coating.
In addition to profiled sheets, transverse fencing profiles called joists are used. It’s easy to attach the logs to the post: a bracket and a construction clamp will allow do without using a welding machine.
The following advantages are highlighted in using the bracket:
Welding work is provided metal elements fence reliable fastening. After welding the fasteners, the surface is treated with a special primer to secure the work done and give the product greater thickness.
A fence with posts (example in the photo on the left) is chosen by the owners of households who What is important is the highest stability of the sheets and a respectable appearance.
Just like for metal pillars, markings are made for future masonry for brick fortifications.
Craftsmen make a hole into which concrete is poured. This procedure is important because large weight of the future structure. Construction material laid out with an area of 1.5 by 1.5 bricks.
Throughout the laying of a brick pillar, a level and plumb line are used for accuracy.
At a height of 0.2-0.3 meters and 1.5-1.7 meters from the top edge of the soil, they are laid inside the column brackets to support the structure. After the masonry is completed, the logs are welded to the brackets and covered with a protective coating.
After completion of the masonry, the surface of each pillar covered special roof for guard brick pillars from precipitation.
Sometimes the owner of the future fence decides to install a fencing structure made of profiled sheets without a foundation. Before making such a decision you need to consult a specialist, which will tell you about the type of soil and its swampiness.
If there are differences in the area, the presence strong wind and wateriness of the soil, installation cannot be done without a foundation.
If the soil layer allows this type of construction, it is best to use a profile pipe 100 mm in diameter. The height of the pipe is selected based on the planned height of the fence. The top of the support is welded to prevent moisture from entering.
A building with a foundation is much more reliable than without it. If you have the financial opportunity and extra time, it is best to dig holes. They are filled with gravel mixed with broken bricks. The hole is filled with cement, with pre-fixed supports.
Fixed pillars should not be touched for four days until the cement is completely dry.
Work with a profiled sheet begins with a drawing detailed diagram, which will take into account all the points:
At this stage, you need to decide what type of fence will be on the site: continuous or sectional. Continuous construction involves a continuous arrangement of corrugated sheets around the entire perimeter.
A sectional fence is divided into segments separated by pillars.
When choosing a material, you need to pay attention to the height of the sheet and its thickness. The material should not be too thin.
For country house located in a temperate climate, optimal choice there will be a fence with plastisol or polyester coating.
Carrying out foundation laying work - one of important stages
, because it is at this moment that places for future pillars are marked. And from correct location The evenness of the structure will depend.
First produced marking the future fence. For this procedure, you can use pegs with a rope attached and a hydraulic level for accuracy. Then the places for installing the pipes are outlined. In the indicated places, recesses are made (recommended depth - 1 meter).
The pillars serve as support for the profiled sheet. From the strength of the material from which they are made, the reliability of the fence depends. The height of the pipe should be selected taking into account the depth to which the support will go into the hole.
Pillars made of profiled pipes 40x20 are popular. The thinner the corrugated sheet, the smaller the distance between the supports should be..
A budget option for supporting a fence is wood. Wooden pillars less in demand due to fragility. However, they are able to withstand significant loads. With this choice, you need to carefully treat the pillars with an antibacterial solution.
Pillars needs to be adjusted in height. In relatively flat terrain, the fence along the horizontal line should not have significant deviations or differences. To do this, use a watery level. A mark is placed on the posts and the extra centimeters are cut off with a grinder.
The pillars are installed in pre-dug holes and filled with concrete with the addition of crushed stone. The surface of the concrete is covered with a film to prevent moisture from entering and speed up drying.
Installing poles is difficult, but it can be done with your own hands. The main thing is to be precise in your work.. It is recommended to carry out installation together with an assistant.
After the concrete has successfully dried the surface of vertical posts and logs is coated with paint or primer. If you do not carry out this procedure in advance, then later, when the sheets are already tightly held, they will interfere with surface treatment.
It is best to install corrugated sheets with a partner. One holds the bottom of the sheet at the level of the tensioned thread, and the other secures the surface with a screwdriver at the top.
After checking that the sheet is horizontal, it is strengthened in three or four more places. The sheets are fastened with self-tapping screws or bolts. Can Make the job easier with a screwdriver with low revs. Self-tapping screws must be screwed through one wave.
Despite the fact that a self-tapping screw can be easily screwed into a corrugated sheet, it is better to make a preliminary hole in the material with a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the self-tapping screw. This is important when the metal expands linearly due to sudden temperature fluctuations.
Perpendicular screwing of the self-tapping screw - necessary condition fastening of corrugated sheets. For better sealing of the fastening, special neoprene washers are used, which should fit tightly to the sheet.
For installation accuracy, use a level. It is important to install the first sheet evenly, since all other work will be carried out from him. The sheet is attached in four places with a distance of 20 cm from the edge. The next sheet is laid with an overlap in one wave.
To accurately hit the crossbars with a self-tapping screw, you need to pull the string with outside at their level.
It is unacceptable to make the minimum number of fastenings: due to gusts of wind, the fence will be subject to loosening.
The final stage of installation is the installation of the end strip. It will cover the edges and create the appearance of a finished structure.
